Russian Blue kittens & cats in Perris, California

APRIL 2026 PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. SKY and her siblings (SAWYER & STUART) were saved by an independent rescuer. They came from a mom at a colony in the area South Los Angeles, California. Once the kittens were stable, the rescuer reached out to us. And now they are with our rescue. Meet SKY, a young feline with a heart full of curiosity. Her personality is a delightful blend of goofy and mellow, making every moment spent with her a joy. SKY's intelligence shines through in her playful antics, as she effortlessly turns everyday objects into toys. She's energetic, always ready for a game of chase, and brave, unafraid to explore new territories. But, SKY also has a shy side. She can be a bit timid and skittish, yet this only adds to her charm. SKY's unique combination of traits makes her a delightful companion. Adopt SKY and bring home not just a pet, but a friend who will fill your days with laughter and love. SKY is a DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / RUSSIAN BLUE MIX. She is about 2 years and 10 months old. She is good with cats. She has never been around children or dogs. SKY is currently at our rescue in Hemet, California. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. Go to Workinwhiskers.com (Click on ADOPT) 2. Fill Out Online Form 3. Submit Online Application 4.

NOVEMBER 2026 PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BELOW. IT WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. If you still have questions after, we are happy to respond through email. It is a long read and a long adoption process. Please understand we are ensuring that our babies go to great homes and we don't know you personally (yet). Understand that this is an adoption of a beautiful little soul that deserves the absolute best life. The average lifespan of a cat is 13 to 20 years. Some cats even live into their thirties, although this is far less common. So don't let that discourage you from adopting an adult cat if a kitten is too much energy for you! Rescue Mama has had 3 live into their 20's. One was 8 weeks old. AMERICA CHAVEZ and her brother DR STEPHEN STRANGE were found at a Spay/Neuter clinic in El Monte, California. We arrived at our month hosted clinic and was told the kittens were left outside of their facility. Of course we found a foster and took them in. Meet AMERICA CHAVEZ, a Russian Blue kitten whose delicate presence hides a sweet little heart waiting to bloom. AMERICA CHAVEZ is a very shy and cautious girl who can feel overwhelmed by new experiences, but underneath her timid nature is a gentle kitten who is beginning to show just how much affection she can offer when she feels safe and comfortable. AMERICA CHAVEZ needs a loving family who understands that trust takes time. She may not be the kitten who immediately runs up to greet you, but she has already shown that she can accept gentle pets and even allows herself to be picked up. Those quiet moments are precious glimpses of the loving companion she can become with patience, kindness, and plenty of reassurance. Once AMERICA CHAVEZ feels secure, she has a wonderful opportunity to build confidence at her own pace. A calm, caring environment with a predictable routine and lots of gentle encouragement will help her learn that she is safe and surrounded by people who care about her. Positive reinforcement, patience, and simply allowing her to choose when she is ready to interact will be important parts of her journey. AMERICA CHAVEZ is also very comfortable around other cats, and she seems especially content when she is with her brother, DOCTOR STEPHEN STRANGE. Having a familiar feline companion appears to give her comfort and confidence, and watching these two together is a sweet reminder of how meaningful companionship can be for a shy kitten. They share a special connection, and AMERICA CHAVEZ clearly enjoys having her brother nearby. For the family who is willing to give this tiny girl the time she needs, AMERICA CHAVEZ has the potential to become a wonderful companion. Imagine watching her gradually emerge from her shell, discovering favorite toys, seeking out affection, and eventually greeting you with the confidence of a kitten who knows she is safe and loved. AMERICA CHAVEZ is ready for a patient, nurturing family who will celebrate every little step forward. To learn more about welcoming AMERICA CHAVEZ into your family, please apply at Workinwhiskers.com. Could you be the gentle person who helps this tiny girl discover just how wonderful the world can be? *****We would love to see both AMERICA CHAVZ and DR STEPHEN STRANGE***** **************** We will not do adoptions of kittens under 8 months to a home with no other YOUNG cat in the current home. SENIOR CATS are usually 8 years and older. She needs a YOUNG cat playmate ***************** AMERICA CHAVEZ is an DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR / RUSIIAN BLUE MIX. She is about 6 months old.

Though he may start off skittish, once he feels safe and comfortable, you’ll quickly see the playful side of him emerge—especially if there are toys involved! This little guy has a deep love for playtime, and you’ll often find him happily chasing after a feather wand or pawing at a string with surprising energy. While his cautious nature may make him seem reserved at first, don't be fooled—Sawyer is full of curious spirit. He just takes his time getting comfortable with new faces and environments. Once he knows he’s in a loving and safe space, he’s sure to show off more of his playful, quirky personality. SAWYER is also a big fan of feline company, getting along well with other cats. He would thrive in a home where he can share the space with another calm, friendly cat companion who understands his need for gentle interactions. His love for other cats makes him a wonderful addition to a multi-cat household.

We arrived at our month hosted clinic and was told the kittens were left outside of their facility. Of course we found a foster and took them in. Meet DR STEPHEN STRANGE, a young Russian Blue kitten from El Monte, California, whose gentle spirit is slowly emerging as he learns that people can be kind, patient, and trustworthy. DR STEPHEN STRANGE was found in an alley, and we do not know about his life before he was found, but we do know that this sweet boy is taking each new experience one small step at a time. DR STEPHEN STRANGE is shy and timid, and right now, his favorite place may be somewhere safely tucked away while he watches the world around him. He is still learning to trust, so he needs a loving family who will give him plenty of patience, reassurance, and time to feel comfortable. Although DR STEPHEN STRANGE is cautious, he has already shown some wonderful signs of progress. He allows himself to be picked up and does okay with gentle pets. These may seem like small things, but for a kitten who is still building confidence, they are meaningful steps forward. With a calm environment, a predictable routine, and lots of positive reinforcement, DR STEPHEN STRANGE can continue discovering that affection and companionship can be wonderful things. And there is one particularly special source of comfort in DR STEPHEN STRANGE's life: his sister, AMERICA CHAVEZ. These two young Russian Blue kittens seem very content together, and having a familiar feline companion nearby can make the world feel a little less overwhelming for a shy kitten like DR STEPHEN STRANGE. DR STEPHEN STRANGE also knows exactly how to show his appreciation for kindness: food and treats! His love of tasty rewards can be a wonderful way to build positive associations and help him become more comfortable with his caregivers. This sweet boy does not need to rush. He needs someone willing to meet him where he is, celebrate his little victories, and patiently watch his confidence grow. Imagine the joy of seeing DR STEPHEN STRANGE go from hiding to seeking you out for affection because he has learned that he is safe.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Welcome to Act 2 Rescue where you become part of our A2R family! Adoption is an important time in your life and we are grateful to be a part of it. We take pride in offering you a personalized adoption experience with continuing behavioral support as needed. -Mindy Gould, CEO Hi, I’m  Misty , a beautiful Russian Blue mix with the sweetest soul.  I first showed up as a stray, visiting a kind family’s home for food and love. I kept coming back, talking to them and staying close until they realized I wasn’t just visiting…I was asking for help. Little did they know, I was expecting six babies! I became the sweetest and most devoted mama to my kittens, and now that they’re ready for their own homes, it’s finally my turn!  I can be a little cautious when we first meet, but once I’m comfortable, my sweet personality shines! I love head scratches, belly rubs, and being close to my person. I’m also a curious girl and may try to sneak out an open door, so my family will need to be mindful of keeping me safely indoors. I’ve also done wonderfully with a 20-pound dog and wasn’t afraid to confidently say hello.  After giving so much love to my six babies, I’m ready for a forever home where I can finally be someone’s baby.  $150 adoption donation fee  *Note:  A2R kitties are all sterilized, fully vaccinated (if old enough), socialized in private homes not a cattery, they usually receive high end cat food, probiotics, & regular health care. We also provide 30 days of Petcademy free to support transition into your new home as well as having a professional cat behavior coach on staff to support your needs. We take pride in going above and beyond in our customer and kitty service. When you adopt from us you become part of our A2R family and join a community through our social media as well. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and You Tube. _________________ ______________________________________________________  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Please be aware we are a small foster based rescue in Riverside, California. Our volunteers often have other jobs/careers as well. We are not a government funded shelter and all of our donations including adoption donations are used to run the rescue and help the animals in our care. Since we are no kill, higher fees for in demand breeds help us cover critical care.  We are always in need of volunteers, donations, and fosters. Please excuse any wait times as we are often inundated with emergencies or short staffed due to the overpopulation crisis. You can learn more about us on our website or follow us here.   Steps 1-2  of the ADOPTION PROCESS must be done before we do OFFICIAL MEET & GREETS or take deposits.  To keep animals healthy,  we limit  foster based meet & greets  to people fully qualified to adopt them.   No animals can be held without a $75 deposit. Deposits cannot be refunded if you change your mind, they are to hold a cat and can result in other adopters being told they cannot adopt. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.  Application:  Log into our website and complete the adoption application at link below: Applications :  Forms (rescuegroups.org) 2. Virtual Home Check: Once your application is approved, check back if you haven't been scheduled for a virtual home check within 48 hours.  A virtual home check to ensure safety of your residence for your kitty (not perfect cleanliness). You will be told during the visit if you pass.  3. Official meet & greet with your kitty at an adoption event, foster care, or adoption center depending on location of the kitty.   We only have a few  volunteers,  so we apologize at times we fall behind due to high demand of some cats.  5. Sign adoption contract and, if appropriate, foster to adopt clause. 6. Pay adoption fee via zelle using act2rescue@gmail.com (not our phone number) or using cash. We can accept cards at adoption events but the terminal charges fees that are pretty high so it's not the best option.  7. Take your kitty home. Be sure to isolate kitty while they adjust to your home. We may check in from time to time to be sure you do not need any additional support because we love hearing how our kitties are doing. As volunteer staff, happy stories are literally our paycheck.  8. Check out our website https://act2rescue.org for resources, blogs and info on how to best take care of your new kitty. Our professional behavior coach is available via text to assist you with transition as well. We also have a Facebook group to interact with our behavior coach and other kitten care experts, as well as our A2R family like you! ****Please note, we do not have dedicated staff for phone lines so please text instead of calling. If the cat/kitten is listed, they are available. However, they could have pending applications or meet and greets scheduled. Filling out an application and approval does not obligate you to adopt the kitty. If they are not a fit...we have plenty of other kitties for adoption. This kitty has received at least two FVCRP vaccines, rabies if over 4 months, Revolution for fleas/ticks/heartworms/stomach parasites/ear mites, de-wormer, sterilization*, and microchip (you must register for it to work but it's free).  All kitties are given a general wellness check by a veterinarian prior to sterilization.  Deposits: The only way we can hold a kitty is with a non-refundable (if you decide not to adopt within 2 weeks not if we void the adoption) deposit of $75. We reserve the right to void the adoption up until the point the contract is signed. If we cancel the adoption (for kitty health or other issues) we will refund your deposit. If you wait longer than 2 weeks, we cannot hold the kitty due to space constraints. Your deposit could be used on another kitty. If you decide not to adopt at all, any deposit will go to the care of animals rescued with us and may be written off as a donation.   Foster to Adopt: Kittens must be 2 lbs or 8 weeks and fixed to be adopted. This will be noted in the approximate available date. If a kitty is unable to be fixed in a timely manner, they may foster to adopt. This would be all adoption paperwork and donations would be exchanged and the kitten would go home. Adoption paperwork will have a clause that it is not final until animal is sterilized.  Once the sterilization appointment arrives you must bring them in to be sterilized or the animal will have to be returned to the rescue. You may also have them sterilized on your own and show proof to the rescue. Once sterilized the adoption will be complete. We normally do not do these in this manner but due to extreme situations they may arise. Final health checks are done during sterilization. Any unknown health issues would also allow you to choose a different cat.   Failure to comply with sterilization will result in returning the animal to us without refund of donations. Breeds:  We cannot guarantee breed but do our best to identify possible breeds based on their appearancxe and personality. If you DNA test your furry friend, let us know the results. It is fun to see what the kitty actually is and how close our guess is. Please know not all DNA companies test for all breeds and the science is still catching up so it may adjust later to have breeds we saw. We like to know so we can improve our analysis too.   We cannot guarantee health but go to great lengths to have healthy kitties. Kitties do not live in a cattery but in private fosters for this reason.  Snap Testing: We do not test for FELV/FIV in healthy animals as it is often incorrect in animals under 6 months and can be a false positive. False negatives also give a false sense of security. These tests are best done if an animal is unhealthy to determine disease.  https://www.uwsheltermedicine.com/library/resources/why-are-some-shelters-no-longer-testing-all-cats-for-felv-and-fiv November 11, 2026, 6:38 pm
